After installing Windows 10 LTSC on a separate intenal HD, the Linux portion of my “fdisk -l” output has a column it didn't have prior

I have two harddrives in this computer—one is a regular SSD, the other is an M2 SSD. I installed Arch on the regular one and, after a little over a week of having it, installed Windows 10 LTSC on the M2 (gotta play my games, yo). Now the output of my fdisk -l looks like this:



Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 2099199 2097152 1G ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/sdb2 2099200 1155532799 1153433600 550G 5 Extended
/dev/sdb5 2101248 65015807 62914560 30G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb6 65017856 98572287 33554432 16G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb7 98574336 1147150335 1048576000 500G 83 Linux


The Id column was never there prior to my installing Windows, and the windows portion of this output doesn't have this column:



Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 923647 921600 450M Windows recovery environment
/dev/sda2 923648 1128447 204800 100M EFI System
/dev/sda3 1128448 1161215 32768 16M Microsoft reserved
/dev/sda4 1161216 488396799 487235584 232.3G Microsoft basic data


I've been reading a lot about libreboot, so my curiosity is peaked. Did Windows, or maybe the installation of some drivers in Windows, do something deeper than just adding files to the M2 SSD to affect the way the Linux kernel sees the HD it's on?



(These two HDs are pretty separate, even having their own separate boot partitions. They don't interact with one another outside of me mounting the Windows partition in Linux [which I have yet to do!])

  • @Kusalananda Oh, they are. I don't think they IDs themselves are anything suspicious—I'm just wondering why that column showed up immediately after I installed Windows.

  • I'd be more interested in knowing why that column did not show up for /dev/sdb. I've never seen fdisk -l output without that column on Linux.
